To begin with I built a cyclinder as the main body of the Pantheon. the roof was made using a Sphere which i reshaped using the reshape tool. To roof shape was achieved by using the reshape tool on the z-axis to "squash" the sphere.
The front of the Pantheon was a little bit more trick to achieve. The Pantheon has a small rectangular section at the front which connects the pillers and front roof to the main body. I had several issues when creating this simple shape as i tried to use typical commands that I have used in most other creative design software. Those commands however ended up coping the objects meaning i made multiple copies of one object.
Evenutally I was able to get the object to the desired shape and then I used the align tool to align the center of the rectangular object to the cyclinder on the y-axis. Once these two objects were aligned, i began trying to create the front roof. First attempt involved using the rotate tool to rocate two boxes to create the triangle shape and using another to create the base of the triangle. the problem I then encountered was filling the triangle. At this point I heard Richard explain how you can change how many sides and object can have and that this feature made it possible to turn a cyclinder into a triangle by giving the cyclinder only three sides.
As i did with previous objects I rotated the traingle to the required deimenions and then used the align tool to align the tip of the triangle to the top of the rectangle. The pillars were then created by changing the sides of a cyclinder to eight to create Hexangonal cyclinders. Using the re-size tool i made the pillars a sensible height and diameter. Using the copy feature I stumbled upon earlier to place the first pillar and they create multiple copies at set intervals apart.
To fiinish i selected every object and changed the colour to more suitable colour for the Pantheon.
